anti-gang laws

Anti-gang laws are legal measures designed to prevent organized criminal groups from functioning and evading justice. They target gangs by imposing stricter penalties on gang-related activities, such as recruitment, threats, and crimes committed on behalf of the group. These laws often allow law enforcement to investigate and prosecute gang members more effectively, even for crimes committed outside traditional boundaries or timelines. The goal is to disrupt gang operations, protect communities, and reduce crime by dismantling the organizational structure of gangs and holding their members accountable.
